Alexandre Perrier
Alexandre Perrier was a Swiss landscape painter; mostly of Alpine mountain scenes. He also created a few portraits.
His early paintings use a Pointillistic technique, but his later ones show a broader brushstroke. He did not follow the general practice of painting en plein aire, preferring to make sketches on site and producing the canvases in his studio.
